Phoenix Mill (Virginia)

In 1812 it was offered up for auction as part of the larger Strawberry Hill farm and sold in 1813.

[3][2] It primarily milled wheat but also advertised having plaster available for sale in 1819.

[4] It was sold for $9,000 in 1854 when it was advertised, with the name Brick Water Mill, as having four burrs and the capacity "to grind 100 barrels of flour per day".

[2] As of 2023, it is unoccupied and was most recently occupied by the Flippo Construction company, and the land it sits on is 2.0 acres (0.81 ha) in size.

As part of potential highspeed rail on the neighboring railway, its historical significance was evaluated in a 2018 report and recommended the site as likely eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places.
